Blue sky at night, America’s delight.
Right, yeah. AFTER he mingled with everyone else on stage. Cool, huh?
It was a perfectly normal, straightforward acceptance speech, but I cried.
I think I just saw Hunter Biden
I think most of those people were his family, whom he probably sees (and hugs) at home most days.
But I agree he should have kept it on.
I can’t imagine that he and everyone up there hasn’t had near-constant COVID tests.
Easy, Casanova, she’s married
See, that’s the way Trump approaches this, and it ain’t right. Jesus. Are we now entering It’s OK If A Democrat Does It terrirory?
How many votes was that gain based on? I’ve been worried all day that the analysts have been ignoring Pinal County, which had 25k uncounted ballots and is quite red. About 7k of those votes posted recently 67% for Trump. Hoping Pima has enough left to counter the remaining Maricopa and Pinal votes.
I’ll admit I chuckled once when Biden mentioned Eagle’ Wings hymn. As a former Cath-school kid, I thought of the silly hand gestures. Glad he didn’t use those 
He should have kept the mask on, just for the example it sets. Hopefully his staff will tell this to him, and he’ll do better not to get caught up in the exuberance of moments like this in the future.
Great speeches from both the VP Elect and the President Elect.
So what title is Kamala’s husband Doug going to have?
Second gentleman despite technically being the first gentleman ?
Second gentleman. (He’s the first second gentleman.)
When was this no mask thing that y’all are talking about? After his speech?
I think a photo after this speech of D, K, J and J holding up hands with masks on will be most historic.
Absolutely.
Yeah. After he was done with his speech friends and family moved on to the stage to congratulate him and celebrate and Biden, who gave his speech with no mask on, didn’t bother to put one on.
This last set was 7,119 votes. Latest estimate is 123k left to count.
My apologies, in my message I said this was from Pima but I meant to write Pinal County which skews Trump. Although it was above the percentage that Trump needs to take AZ you feel he needs to massively over perform in places like Pinal - this result was only slightly higher than the average he needs across the entire state.
There may be some confusion here. The votes that @Fiendish_Astronaut is talking about were from Pinal, I assume (since it says the margin is 18,713, which is the current margin). Either way, it was 7,119 votes that reduced the lead by 2,475 to the current 18,713.
And as I’m typing it is now a lead of 18,610 based on another 2,279 votes (somebody can do that math on that one).
I think it may get closer than Fox thought when they initially called it, but I don’t really see enough votes outstanding to overturn that deficit, although I’ll admit I don’t have a good read on how many are really left.
Ok, I’ll just admire her from afar. 
I think I’m going to sleep well tonight. What a relief to know we made this happen.
Not silly at all. It says a lot about character, as has so often been said about Biden. The Orange Peril has already opined about being one of the few dog-less presidents, saying it would make him look “ridiculous” (and not saying, but clearly thinking, that there was no way that dogs could help him enrich himself, so they were useless).
Anyway, these were great speeches, and they’ve already been well commented on, so I have nothing to add. A real president again, indeed. What I can add by way of casual observation is that this event was really well organized. The speeches, the music, the fireworks, made my eyes moist. And the extended family all on stage, with nary a Jared, Melania, or junior Trumps anywhere in sight.
My enduring memory of this night was president-elect Joe Biden gazing at the fireworks. In those eyes was a look of combined wonder, happiness, optimism, and above all, honesty and goodwill. This has been a great, great day.
